video.google.com — Strongest Dad in the World [From Sports Illustrated, By Rick Reilly] Eighty-five times he's pushed his disabled son, Rick, 26.2 miles in marathons. Eight times he's not only pushed him 26.2 miles in a wheelchair but also towed him 2.4 miles in a dinghy while swimming and pedaled him 112 miles in a seat on the handlebars--all in the same day.

I hope that all the idiots on this website will one day realize that they can type, walk, and have every function that normal being can have. You should be happy for your health...other people aren't that fortunate. Do you have to lose a loved one to understand? I lost my cousin to cancer. Even before that, I thanked God for my health. Rethink all the crap you guys have said before.

damn, there is some unfamiliar substance in my eyes... - I'm at work, can I excuse it by blaming it on my contacts?

How the hell is the music manipulative? Just because it's Christian it's all-of-a-sudden manipulative? It's a praise song, not some kind of conversion song! ....

I'll add my digg, and my comment that this is a wonderful vote for humanity. We could all do with a little more Hoyt in our lives.

These are the sacrifices that we should be making for our children... whether it's running a marathon with them or simply reading them a book. Toughen up! But here is a suggestion, mute the video and insert your own inspirational song. That video was bad-ass, and thanks to theplucker for providing the backstory. It made it 100 times more inspirational. <a class="user" href="http://slobstangs.info">http://slobstangs.info</a> <a class="user" href="http://slyperoble.info">http://slyperoble.info</a> <a class="user" href="http://snidemucus.info">http://snidemucus.info</a> <a class="user" href="http://soniccedis.info">http://soniccedis.info</a> <a class="user" href="http://stipefaros.info">http://stipefaros.info</a>
